Classification of Wild Trout Streams
Additions, Deletions and Adjustments to List
2007
Under 58 Pa. Code §57.11 (relating to listing of wild trout streams), it is the policy of the Fish
and Boat Commission (Commission) to accurately identify and classify stream sections supporting
naturally reproducing populations of trout as wild trout streams. The Commission’s Fisheries
Management Division maintains the list of wild trout streams. The Executive Director, with the approval
of the Commission, will from time-to-time publish the list of wild trout streams in the Pennsylvania
Bulletin. The listing of a stream section as a wild trout stream is a biological designation that does not
determine how it is managed. The Commission relies upon many factors in determining the appropriate
management of streams.
At the next Commission meeting on April 16 and 17, 2007, the Commission will consider
changes to its list of wild trout streams. Specifically, the Commission will consider the removal of the
following stream from the list:
COUNTY

The Commission also will consider the following adjustments to the list:
